The       descent through Titan's atmosphere will last about       2-2.5 hours, all the while the probe will be sampling       the atmosphere's composition, taking pictures of the       ground and the horizon, and gathering other data.       It has the capability to survive a landing on the       ground or in a lake/sea/ocean of hydrocarbons so we       might get a few pictures from the surface.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
